Building on its strong legacies from recent conferences (in Geneva, Pattaya, Curitiba, Rotorua and Montreal), IUHPE2025 will embrace firm agendas of equity, planetary and eco-health, indigenous voices, community-based health development and salutogenic well-being perspectives that combine and engage systems and people perspectives on positive health.
The proposed theme for the conference is ‘Settings for Planetary Health and Well-Being’.
Settings for Health (cities, market places, universities, workplaces, schools, islands, airports) and innovations
Beyond settings: systems, networks and connections
Planetary Settings for Health Promotion
Demographic change and inclusion of all age groups, genders and beliefs.
Health equity and its determinants.
Health promotion financing.
Global diplomacy and emergency/pandemic preparedness in the current social and natural reality.
Health literate settings, schools, healthcare, communities and beyond.
New settings for health (promotion) innovation.
Digital health transformation (AI, big data, digital equity, tools and stewardship).
Health and wellbeing in all policies.
Global (global/local) networks for health.
One health and planetary health promotion (eco-health, human and animal health, healthy spirit).
Spirituality, faith and planetary well-being.
Precision health promotion.
We invite health promoters, communities, activists, scholars, students and policy operators to actively participate and contribute to this dialogue and exchange, and to help transform our world for the global vision for planetary health and well-being.
